No more cholesterol restriction in latest dietary guidelines
Earlier this month, I was forwarded an e-mail by a friend which stated: "The truth is finally out - concerns about eating food with high cholesterol is untrue!! Suddenly all of us are gastronomically liberated. We are no longer deprived of our favourite food."
This e-mail referred to the 572-page Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) which was submitted to the US government in February 2015 which included a statement, "Previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300 mg/day. The 2015 DGAC will not bring forward this recommendation because available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol, consistent with the conclusions of the AHA/ACC report. Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption."
